About Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle healing technique that helps reduce stress and promote relaxation. It works by using light touch or no touch at all to help balance the body’s natural energy. While it may sound unfamiliar, the concept is simple: when our energy is blocked or out of sync, it can lead to stress, tension, or even physical discomfort. Reiki helps clear these blocks, allowing the body to relax and tap into its own ability to heal.
Reiki was developed in the early 20th century by a Japanese monk named Mikao Usui, who sought to create a method that supports the body’s natural healing process. Since then, Reiki has gained recognition worldwide and is now offered in many hospitals, including institutions like the Cleveland Clinic and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, as complementary therapy for managing stress, pain, and recovery.
Studies suggest Reiki’s potential to promote relaxation and well-being, with research highlighting benefits in areas such as pain relief, anxiety reduction, and enhancing overall quality of life. As a non-invasive and supportive practice, Reiki works harmoniously with traditional medicine to help individuals achieve balance and healing.
